About

Weddings with Reverend Jim Beidle

I am an experienced professional wedding officiant based in Arlington, Washington. Aware of the many details that go into planning your perfect wedding day, I take pains to make your ceremony planning easy, fun, and affordable. I believe you’ll build your life on the memories you create as you stand together at the marriage altar. I am committed to helping you communicate your love through meaningful vows, entertaining your guests through a joyful celebration, and bringing you into a lifetime of happiness.

Experienced

As an ordained minister, I have performed weddings since 2012. Based on that experience, I’ve assembled several wedding packages for every style of wedding you can imagine. From elopements through creative celebrations and resort destinations to your backyard. Whatever your vibe, you and I create precisely the ceremony you want to celebrate your love. It’s your ceremony - how do you imagine your wedding day?

Professional

There are many officiants who treat their calling as a hobby, with the casual attitude that sometimes entails. Yet your officiant is your guide to the legal and spiritual process of becoming married. Isn’t it important that they understand and comply with a legal and ethical standard to ensure your wedding goes without a hiccup?

As a professional officiant, I adhere to the rigid standards and the strong code of ethics chartered by the International Association of Professional Wedding Officiants - IAPWO. The IAPWO Code of Ethics includes key ideals of honesty, trustworthiness, respect, and non-discrimination. Regardless of your background, I promise to treat you fairly and spell out what I can and cannot do for you.

Mobile

Although I focus on offering services in Northwest Washington, I am ready to travel to you! I have married couples in three of Washington’s national parks, on whale watching tours, and at the beach. Wherever you want to tie the knot, I am ready to make it happen.

Wonderful officiant and person to work with!

We felt so fortunate to have found Jim, after searching and meeting with other officients. He had a really nice process and structure to how he would officiate, and how he could help us put together our own vows. We really enjoyed working with him, and he made our day a big success. He was very flexible, and open to hearing our input as well. He went the extra mile for us on the day of as well, which we are forever grateful. He did an awesome job running our rehearsal as well. We highly recommend Jim to any other couples out there!

A Friendly Face at our elopement

Jim was a blessing for our wedding and made our day truly special. He was extremely attentive and informative with all my questions I had. He calmed my bride jitters and was patient during our photos. Jim was more than a Reverend, he was a friendly and warm friend. I will always recommend Jim to anyone in and around Washington state. Thank you for being you, Jim, and hope for many more weddings in the future that you can be apart of!
